Open Access is good for publishers. It makes them rich. It is good for industry and sponsors of research. It is good for those researchers who can afford to pay the OA fees and also who have sponsorship for publication.
OA is not good for researchers who have no support for research, for who have to beg their institutions to pay the publication fees. Many researchers miss opportunities to publish in journals for this reason.
